Avoid an immediate restart after system updates
I would not recommend following the advice in this hint. You're supposed to restart your machine for a reason -- purposely not doing so can wreak havoc on your entire system and cause problems later. If you're not ready to restart, do NOT install the software update.
Avoid an immediate restart after system updates
I agree. Why would you NOT want to restart? Updates which replace extensions and frameworks and other system level files NEED to be restarted to take effect. I wonder if people who do this are the ones who then appear on Apple Forums saying how 10.4.X (enter your own number) has caused problems on their machines. I can't understand it.
Avoid an immediate restart after system updates
Indeed, for some updates that require a reboot, like Quicktime (why oh why do quicktime updates require a reboot???) it is probably OK to delay it. But for others, I have discovered that bad things can happen if kernel extensions and system libraries don't match. Don't try it. Just wait until you can reboot to apply your updates.

Quicktime updates all sorts of libraries. And just about anything that is open will want to load those QT libraries. |
